Grandpa when I was a Kid I Always Saw You as the Most Indestructible Man!! You were a Super Hero to All of Us Grandkids! When we used to come up to Buckmans To visit you all of the time You and Uncle Norm and All of The Guys would be sitting there drinking coffee and talking about how things used to be! We Loved hearing those stories and listening to you all chat about decades past! I will Miss Your Smiles, Your Laugh and Most of All those Hugs that would Squeeze every ounce of Air from My Lungs!!! You were the Tallest Man With the Biggest Heart and the Brightest Smile!! Your Presence Filled the Room not only because you were so tall, but because of your Big Pesonality!! Steve will Miss those Manly and Intimidating Handshakes that nearly break your hand, but meant so much to the people who received them!!! I Know Our Kids are too Small to understand, but Steve and I did our best to explain to them that you are in Heaven and Everytime they See a Star Brighter then All of The Others it’s You watching over Them!! I Love You Grandpa and Will Miss You, but I know this is not Goodbye its so long for now!! ♡♥♡♥♡
I will miss you always and forever. See you on the other side. Love you Suz
May your family find comfort and peace. Though we have never met you, we know you must have been a good father to have given us our kind and caring friend Julie.

Gary : Sorry you had to leave so soon, I’ve known you for most of your 78 years ,I
wish you could have stayed around longer, really we are both lucky
to have lived this long .Who am I going to discuss the problems of the world
with now. We worked together at the bowling alley, grocery store, the farm, and
the businesses we had. You were my best friend and partner in business. Your
knowledge , honesty and integrity in everything you did will always be with me.
I will really miss you.
Hey Gene, Thanks, for that very nice of you to say all that about our Dad. If you want email me. take care newat@tampabay.rr.com
I’ve always looked up to my grandfather for many reasons. He has taught me so much. Within the past year I have learned a lot about him as a father and a man and he was by far the hardest working person I have ever known and hope that I can be even half the man he was. I will miss him .
Uncle Gary, I will miss coming to look for you at Wegmans for coffee. I always walked in and looked for the ‘man with the hat’. I dont remember how it quite started but I enjoyed the little time I spent with you and some of the stories you told about grandma. It made me happy to hear you call me your niece when you introduced me to your coffee buddies. I am glad that I got this chance . Many blessings on your journey.
Well Dad 24 is over for now, you said from the first episode this character showed up ‘look there is a woman just a pissed as you’ Well here is me saying good bye for now through ‘Chloe’ see you on the road better pick me up in that vet.
Miss you!!! 🌹💕
